DOJ launches broad probe into pediatric gender-treatment practices amid fraud and ethics allegations – NaturalNews.com

• The U.S. has launched a broad investigation into alleged fraud in pediatric gender?transition care, issuing over 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics involved in treating minors.
• Some Attorneys General supporting the probe have characterized certain treatments as “mutilation under the guise of care,” suggesting ideological or medically dubious motives.
• The DOJ is focusing on possible misdiagnoses or misuse of billing codes (e.g., diagnosing “central precocious puberty”) to secure insurance payments for puberty blockers, hormones or surgeries.
• Hospitals under scrutiny are pushing back, warning that demands for internal documents, consent forms, communications and clinical rationale may violate privacy and chill legitimate medical practice.
• The dispute underscores deep ethical and legal tensions over treating minors: critics warn of irreversible consequences, lack of long?term evidence and the need for stricter medical and legal gatekeeping.

The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a broad investigation into alleged fraud in child gender-transition treatment at leading children’s hospitals. The federal probe spotlights concerns over medical ethics, billing practices and the long?term consequences of irreversible treatments on minors.

According to the DOJ’s own public announcement, more than 20 subpoenas have been issued to doctors and clinics involved in “transgender medical procedures on children,” as part of inquiries into healthcare fraud, false statements and related violations. Attorneys General backing the operation have characterized certain gender?affirming practices on minors as “mutilation under the guise of care,” suggesting some may be medically illegitimate or ideologically driven.

The investigation arrives amid mounting allegations that some providers may be misdiagnosing or mislabeling conditions to obtain insurance payments for puberty blockers, hormones or surgeries in adolescent patients. Critics argue that such practices exploit vulnerable children and raise serious questions about informed consent, long-term safety and accountability.

Children become subjects of medical experimentation

One focal point is the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where the DOJ asserts doctors may have substituted diagnoses like “central precocious puberty” to justify treatments for gender dysphoria—a claim that implicates off?label prescribing and dubious billing practices. Hospitals targeted by subpoenas have pushed back, warning that the breadth of document requests—including patient consent forms, clinical decision rationale and internal communications—may violate privacy and chill legitimate medical practice.

Advocates of the investigation contend that these procedures too often proceed in the absence of robust long?term data, under social pressure or with partial diagnoses—turning children into subjects of ongoing medical experimentation.

Supporters of stricter oversight argue that children are uniquely vulnerable, incapable of full consent and that puberty blockers or hormone therapies may impose lifelong consequences on fertility, bone health and psychological development. Critics of gender transition for minors warn that medical gatekeeping should be imposed until clearer evidence and ethical frameworks are in place.

As subpoenas proceed and court fights unfold, this federal scrutiny could reshape pediatric gender care across the U.S., forcing hospitals to reevaluate their practices and medical societies to confront the tensions between identity, ideology and the duty to “do no harm.”

According to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, transgender surgeries, often involving irreversible procedures such as castration, hysterectomy and mastectomy, are unethical and harmful, as they permanently alter healthy body parts without sufficient evidence of long-term benefits and may cause serious complications. Furthermore, these surgeries are often performed on minors, who may not fully understand the irreversible nature of these procedures or the potential long-term consequences.
